Why I Should Be The Next Talk Show Idol: Well, I did it once before and learned so much. It's time to take another run at Talk Show Idol! I love people and I am always fascinated by the diversity of opinion. Talk is what keeps us sharp and offers ideas and viewpoints that make this community and country a great place to live. Having grown up with CHML always on the radio, I already feel a part of the CHML family!

Why I Should Be The Next Talk Show Idol: This is the question, and as I sit here pondering the myriad of ways to form an answer to what seems such a simple question, I keep returning to the one constant reason in all the ways that I look at why I want to be the next Talk Show Idol, and that is simply this: I really WANT my own show. I just want my own radio show, in my own time slot, where everyone who wants to hear what I have to talk about can hear it without interruptions, with the ability to call in and talk one on one and interact in a pleasant environment. I have been told numerous times over the last few years that I have a very unique view point that needs to be heard, coupled with what people tell me is the ability to actually listen and hear what people are saying and be able to relate to them on some level or another.  Everything that happens to us in life has a reason, sometimes we find out, sometimes we just have to have a little faith that in the end everything works out the way its supposed to. *Learn from yesterday..live for today..hope for tomorrow..* author unknown..It's all any of us can really do now isn't it.. :o)

Why I Should Be The Next Talk Show Idol: Looks do not count not a problem anyway, not afraid of any topic as long as i can say what i feel, I have an opinion about everything and not afraid to express it, maturity, life experience on the road seen a lot met a lot.

Why I Should Be The Next Talk Show Idol: I'm a big fan of radio and I really like the interaction of a phone-in show -- both listening and participating.

I entered Talk Show Idol 2 and I had so much fun that I would love to do it again. I still have plenty to say. At last count there was just about a million topics that I was willing to talk about. I have no life but I do have an opinion on just about everything and I'm always happy to share it.
